      Don't hold your breath.  It's been almost 18 months now.

      If you log on to the Symantec support BBS (408-973-9598) you can see
that almost no messages ever refer to the Zortech Mac product, and that
all the action revolves around Windows and OS/2.  It's clear that
Symantec is putting their resources into the Intel platform products,
where the market is.
